A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Nice, knives Miller and Paladin! Cool thread too. ::tu::

Here's a 3 pack of jacks I have; the top one is a red bone 6231 1/2, followed by a saw cut bone 62009 with a spear blade and a rough black 62031 1/2. All with Case XX tang stamps. I have an Appaloosa bone A6235 1/2 from 1980 but it's not a bare head.
